The Oil Never Runs Dry
Dear Friends,
God always amazes me with the way he supplies. I began Project114 on the promise that God would supply every need of the ministry. It was October 11, 2017. One night while I was fasting and praying, the Holy Spirit woke me. I clearly heard Him whisper 1 Kings 17:14 to me, “The jar of flour will not run out, and the jar of oil will not run dry.” In 1 Kings 17, a widow facing her last meal trusted God’s promise, and the oil in her jar never ran out. In 2 Kings 4, another widow gathered every empty vessel she could find, and as she poured out what little she had, God filled every jar to the brim. Both stories show us that when we surrender what is in our hands, God multiplies it beyond what we could ever imagine. This new year at Project114, we surrender everything into God’s hands again, believing in his power to supply and multiply.
That same miracle-working God is moving through you. Every gift you have poured into this ministry, every prayer, every act of generosity, has become part of His flow of provision. You are like those jars the widow borrowed: open, ready, and available for God to fill and use. Because of your faithfulness, lives are being healed, and hope is being restored. Isaiah 61:3 reminds us that God gives us the oil of joy instead of mourning. That is what your generosity brings into the lives of the suffering people we serve, the very fragrance of joy and renewal.
Thank you for letting God use you in this beautiful work. You are proof that His oil still flows, that hearts still overflow when we trust Him with what we have. As you keep giving and pouring out, may the same oil of joy fill your own life, refreshing your spirit and reminding you that you are part of something eternal.
Planted for Purpose Children's Edition
We are very excited to announce that we have now completed our third trauma recovery course in our Planted for Purpose series. This latest edition is designed specifically to address the needs of children and adolescents dealing with the impact of trauma. This material places Project114 in a unique space as most ministries who serve the vulnerable through trauma care do not have resources for children.

PLEASE CONSIDER GIVING A 'GIFT OF HOPE' TO ENSURE CHILDREN IN ALL OUR PROJECT COUNTRIES CAN ACCESS OUR COURSE
Traveling back to Ukraine
I'm planning to travel back to Ukraine soon, though the dates are still to be determined. The goals of the trip:-
We are launching and piloting the Children’s course in Ukraine before rolling it out across the other countries
Meet with and strengthen our project leaders, lead healing workshops for new displaced families and disabled children.
Teach a seminary course on prayer for pastors and church leaders, exploring some of the themes of my upcoming Prayer Devotional
I am taking a new partner from the USA who is a security missionary. We will be meeting with pastors and church leaders, helping them better understand how to prepare for a post war-context with so many returning soldiers struggling with PTSD and an increase in the availability of weapons.
Please pray with us
Pray for God’s anointing over Planted for Purpose for children as we pilot it in Ukraine. Pray that this course would plant deep seeds of hope and faith in children wounded by war.
Ask the Lord to grant safety, smooth logistics, and joyful participation as we travel to a country at war.
Lift up Ukraine and Sudan, and other nations in conflict, asking God to silence weapons and stir our teams to keep being courageous peacemakers to rebuild shattered communities.
Intercede for the end of persecution in Nigeria and across the nations, that believers may stand firm in witness and find refuge under God’s protection.
Pray for strength, wisdom, and refreshment for each project leader, especially those serving displaced families and children with disabilities.
Ask the Holy Spirit to bring deep healing through the workshops, turning trauma into stories of restoration and renewed faith.
Pray that the seminary course on prayer would ignite a deeper hunger for communion with God and empower pastors to lead their congregations in intercession for their nation.
Pray that faith would flourish even in hardship, and that through our teams and their obedience, the Gospel of peace and healing would reach every heart touched by conflict or persecution.
Thank you for your faithful support and prayer!
Blessings, Simon and Allison, and the Global Project114 Team
